Obituary

Gregg Edward Andrews died at his home and business December 22nd in Spencer, Mass., doing what he loved most, flying his plane. Gregg was born June 15, 1960. He leaves his wife, Jennifer (O’Brien) Andrews of Spencer, his daughter Jaclyn, his son Eric, his sister Lynn Snelling and her husband David, niece Shannon Wolanski and nephew Ben Snelling. His parents, Duncan and Louise Andrews, predeceased him.
Gregg owned and operated the Spencer Airport which has been in the Andrews family since World War II. He was a member of Angel Flight NE, which arranges free flights to those in need of medical care.
Gregg was involved in many activities and loved spending time with his family and friends locally as well as at their camp in Greenville, ME. Besides being an accomplished pilot, Gregg also was an avid sportsman and loved a variety of outdoor sports including snowmobiling, hunting, skiing, four-wheeling, and sailing. He loved traveling around the country and visited Alaska a number of times in his airplane.
After he graduated from David Prouty High School he joined the army for a short term and then attended East Coast Aerotech . He followed in his father’s footsteps as a member of the Spencer Snowbirds, and was a member and treasurer of the Leicester Rod and Gun Club. Gregg and his family also assisted the Central MA Striders in many races including the Boston Marathon. He was a member of the Moosehead ATV Riders, Moosehead Riders snowmobile club, and the Moosehead Yacht Club.
He was heavily involved in aviation issues for small airports and worked closely with area legislators and the state to protect and preserve the need for these types of facilities. His efforts in this will be sorely missed by all who fly and use small local airports. He was a member of the AOPA, CPA, EAA, WAPA, the MA Assoc of Airport Managers, and Seaplane Pilots Association.
His positive can do attitude and smile were infectious. He loved and could fix anything that had a motor.
He left many close friends in and around the Spencer area and will be missed for his good humor and willingness to help in any way he could. He had a heart of gold and could always be counted on to help others in the community. He was the best Dad, husband, uncle, and friend any one could ask for.
